16 Hadarézer envoya chercher les Syriens qui étaient de l’autre côté du fleuve; et ils arrivèrent à Hélam, ayant à leur tête Schobac, chef de l’armée d’Hadarézer.

17 On l’annonça à David, qui assembla tout Israël, passa le Jourdain, et vint à Hélam. Les Syriens se préparèrent à la rencontre de David, et lui livrèrent bataille.

18 Mais les Syriens s’enfuirent devant Israël. Et David leur tua les troupes de sept cents chars et quarante mille cavaliers; il frappa aussi le chef de leur armée, Schobac, qui mourut sur place.

19 Tous les rois soumis à Hadarézer, se voyant battus par Israël, firent la paix avec Israël et lui furent assujettis. Et les Syriens n’osèrent plus secourir les fils d’Ammon.
